It was a pro forma surplus.

If we could not generate a surplus anytime during the prosperous '90's, under what conditions would a surplus be possible?

Come on now, that question is clearly out of bounds. It's like asking "If <insert fave telecom startup> couldn't make money during the biggest buildout in history when will it make money?". Since the likes of you is clearly unable to control the intellect we need a constitutional ammendment outlawing such inflammatory language.

If we cannot with impunity buy stocks with infinite P/Es, the terrorists have already won.

Exactly... anyone who didn't get that is really quite naive. You ask someone who believed a surplus was coming what would happen if a recession came along [still not in the numbers!] and they said.... 'what?'
